Opioid Crisis Education Event

It is no secret that America is in the grips of an opioid crisis. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2015, opioids were involved in 33,091 deaths. Nearly half of all those opioid overdose deaths involved a prescription opioid.

Come join Guttenberg Municipal Hospital (GMH) on Tuesday September 19 at 6:30 p.m. in the journey to understand what safe and effective comfort management looks like. Community members, which include patients and families, are invited to join us for a round-table discussion during the event.

GMH will be holding this FREE community meeting in the Education Center with a guest speaker from the Iowa Healthcare Collaborative presenting “Moving Upstream to Conquer the Opioid Crisis.”
